Back when W was monitoring phone calls from known terrorists to people in America, there was a huge uproar from the Left. Well, now we discover that Obama's grunts are monitoring every Internet communication, including this post and all your emails. Think this is a hoax?
The program is designed to look for indicators of cyber attacks by digging into all Internet communications, including the contents of emails, according to the declassified summary.

Yep, they decided not to turn off the taps. I think we are in a downward spiral.

Unfortunately, Obama has held onto many of the remarkably stupid security policies enacted by Dubya and it's enormously frustrating. I will add, however, that at least Obama has been far more open about it than his moronic predecessor. A little lube helps enormously, but we're still getting fucked.

Y'all carry on like it matters who sits in the Oval office or like there's an actual difference in the two parties.

Not a novel insight but well worth repeating at regular intervals. Here's one such refreshing moment, a minute of Huey Long in 1930.

This ties in. Judge Napolitano talking about the abuses of Patriot Act search warrants and proposed gov't management of health care.

Phreddy, we don't need someone at a podium to define for us what we already know, if nothing else - High-Street is frequented by intelligent and patriotic citizens. Please refrain posting political rants which insult our standing, we know who we are and we understand how stupid the vast majority of the poiticians are. Keep in mind, the Fore-fathers had Doctors and Surgeons so much as they had AstroPhysist and Computer Scientists; our current situation is far beyond their comprehension. The world has seriously changed.
And lest you forget, the capitalist countries that are kicking our collective butts in commerce this decade all have state managed health care.
Let's make this easy for you; please explain to us our (national) relativitly negative productivity results in skilled positions vs. the accepted G-10's results in the same areas.

Done yet?

Yes you are done, you can't expain it. You are defending a defenceless position.
It's basic economics, if you allow your productivity generators to suffer reduced production & personal revenue due to managable causes then productivity will decline forcing costs to rise. It's right there in the CFA study guide or in the text of any Economics 101 text book.
It's Reagonomics 101 buddy, increased buying power increases productivity. Every dollar you tax or de-regulate out of the working class magifies ten-fold to the ruling class. Health Care costs have increase 20 fold over the last decade; directly in line with the debt incurred by consolidation of the Health Care insurers and providers, consolidation encouraged by deregulation.
Look it up, enlighten yourself.

Em, you have to remember that Phwedd is already at the "Socialist Trough:" his wife works for the state, so his ass is covered no matter what, and basically all he is saying is "Fuck You" to the rest of us who actually make the economy work.
